Three Strikes: Chapter 21

I stared in the mirror, admiring the way the lavender purple dress looked agaisnt my skin.

It definetly accentuated my waist, and showed off some of my curves, but not too much.
I cursed under my breath, knowing that Jesse was the one who gave me this dress.
Today was the night of the winter formal, and I was debating on whether or not to go.
I stared blankly at the golden winter formal ticket that laid on my bed.
I sighed, wondering if Jesse was expecting me.
Jesse's Point of View:
I glanced at my newest G-Shock watch, wondering if Kendall was even going to show up tonight.
The winter formal had started thirty minutes ago, and nearly everyone was here.
I examined the room before me, nodding in approval.
This year, the school had designed the winter formal pretty well.
The place was designed like a winter wonderland, with metallic snowflakes and stars hanging from the ceilings, and Christmas lights hanging across the walls.
All the seniors and some juniors were gathered on the dance floor, dancing to some stupid song that was over played on the radio.
"Jesse! Come dance with me!" Jessica seductively smiled.
I raised my eyebrow at the blonde, with my eyes scanning up and down her body.
She definitely assumed that this was a club, rather than a dance.
Her tight, black leather dress hung loose, exposing her skin in all the wrong places.
Suddenly, the crowd grew quiet, as everyone's heads turned towards the doors.
Through the doors, came a beautiful girl, wearing a one of a kind Sherri Hill dress.
The dress which I had personally tailored for Kendall.
My eyes widened with surprise, as I noticed that the beautiful girl was Kendall.
Her loose, curly brown hair bounced as she walked so beautifully, yet effortlessly down the carpet.
Her piercing brown eyes met mine, before her smile dropped.
I frowned, watching her look at me with an awe of pain.
Suddenly, she spun away from my gaze, and held hands with Cole.
I groaned in frustration.
Cole.
I saw Cole lean into Kendall, as he whispered something in her ear, making her giggle.
I gagged.
Kendall was... giggling?
I shuddered in horror. Unbelievable.
I gulped down the jealously that built up in me, as I watched Kendall embrace with Cole, as they led on to the dance floor, slowly swaying to the beat of a slow song.
That should be me.
I let the slow song finish, before Cole disappeared in the bathroom.
I approached Kendall with a smile on my face, as she raised an eyebrow.
"Kendall, you look gorgeous today." I whispered.
She jumped a little in surprise, as she nodded bitterly. "Thanks."
"I see the dress was really made for you." I nodded.
I saw her slightly turn pink, as he fluffed out her long curls.
"Uh, yeah. T-thanks for the dress, by the way." she sheepishly said.
It was now or never.
I had to tell Kendall, before it was too late.
"Kendall, you trust me don't you?" I asked.
Kendall snickered, spitting her punch back in her cup.
"What? You?" she asked.
I grunted. "Yes, me."
Her eyes widened. "Oh, you were serious?"
"Yes, I am." I paused. "With all honestly, you need to stay away from Cole. He's using you."
Kendall rolled her eyes. "Here we go, again."
"I'm serious! I'm not lying!" I promised.
Kendall narrowed her eyes icily. "Why should I believe you? Why can't I dance with Cole, but you can hook up with s***s?!"
I clenched my fists, knowing that it was going to come out, now.
"Because I think I'm falling in love with you."
